Lloyd’s Register is working with UK regulator Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to bring together and analyze safety data gained by its machine learning tool, in order to prevent death and serious injury at work.
Our collaboration with Lloyd’s Register Foundation on Discovering Safety will have a huge impact on our ability to learn from incidents and accidents. It’s our next step towards a world where no one dies as a consequence of work, where industry doesn’t suffer catastrophic failure, where companies can say that no one was harmed in the making of their product and where accidents can be predicted and therefore prevented,
